The HSE now regulate two qualifications; the 1 day Emergency First Aid at Work (EFAW) and the 3 day First Aid at Work (FAW). The outcome from both courses is a First Aider.

The Appointed Persons 1 day course still exists, however the course is not approved by the HSE and although the course if often identical to the EFAW course, it does not fulfil any statutory requirements and the outcome is an Appointed Person not a First Aider.

If you employ five or more people then you may now need to have a qualified First Aider.

If you identify that you need a first aider, then in reality you need two. This is to cover for holidays, illnesses etc. All First Aiders must be re-qualified every three years.

The HSE highly recommended that all first aiders also attend a yearly refresher course. Note, the HSE states 'highly recommended', a Court would take a dim view to anyone ignoring the HSE!

Any existing qualification will still be valid until its original expiry.
